Measurement of nonrandom event-by-event fluctuations of average transverse momentum in square root of (sNN)=200 GeV Au+Au and p+p collisions

Event-by-event fluctuations of the average transverse momentum of produced particles near midrapidity have been measured by the PHENIX Collaboration in square root of (sNN)=200 GeV Au+Au, and p+p collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The fluctuations are observed to be in excess of the expectation for statistically independent particle emission for all centralities. The excess fluctuations exhibit a dependence on both the centrality of the collision and on the pT range over which the average is calculated. Both the centrality and pT dependence can be well reproduced by a simulation of random particle production with the addition of contributions from hard-scattering processes.     

Intermodulation and noise suppression of a linearized, low-noise hybrid microwave amplifier

A new type of microwave amplifier module, consisting of a solid-state amplifier, a predistortion linearizer, and a traveling-wave-tube (TWT), is realized. Measurements show a noise figure of 2.2 dB at 9.5 GHz and the third-order intermodulation distortion ratio of 53 dBc at 10 dB back off from P1 dB point.     

Strong lateral electron coupling of pb nanowires on stepped si(111): angle-resolved photoemission studies

We employ angle-resolved photoemission to characterize the electronic band structure of the Pb "nanowire" array self-assembled on a stepped Si(111) surface. Despite the highly oriented nanowires observed in scanning tunneling microscopy images, we find essentially two-dimensional Fermi contours modulated one dimensionally perpendicular to the wires. This strong two-dimensional and quasi-one-dimensional nature of the band structure explains the stability and anisotropy of the metallic phase down to 4 K as reported recently. A simple tight-binding model with each Si nanoterrace covered by a densely packed Pb overlayer successfully reproduces this modulated band structure and quantifies the electron coupling within the "nanostripes" and the step-edge potential.     

一种新颖的稀土-2-羟基烟酸的配合物的结构和光谱性质研究

通过水热反应合成了一种新颖的稀土2-羟基烟酸的配合物{[LaL(HL)(H2O)3]1/3(SO4)2/3(H3O)2H2O}(H2L=2-hydroxynicotinic acid)。X-ray单晶衍射分析可知,2-羟基烟酸通过羧基O和羟基O原子桥连La离子,形成二维层状结构,层与层之间通过弱作用力拓展为三维结构。二维相关光谱分析表明N—H面外弯曲振动和C—H面外弯曲振动对磁微扰比较敏感,这可能是吡啶环上π电子云在磁微扰下变形引起C—H和N—H面外弯曲振动的响应,SO24-的ν4振动和羧基不对称伸缩振动对磁微扰也比较敏感;热微扰下N—H伸缩振动比较敏感。此外还对化合物进行了紫外和热重分析。

The extended Higgs system in R-symmetric supersymmetry theories

The Higgs sector is extended in R  -symmetric supersymmetry theories by two iso-doublets R_d,u$R_{d,u}$ which complement the standard iso-doublets H_d,u$H_{d,u}$. We have analyzed masses and interactions of these novel states and describe their [non-standard] decay modes and their production channels at the LHC and e⁺e⁻$e^{+}{e}^{-}$ colliders.     

Phase transition characteristics of Ge–Sb–Te pseudobinary alloys in laser irradiation measurement

Optical switching and structural transformation of GeTe–Sb₂Te₃ pseudobinary alloys, Ge₂Sb₂Te₅, Ge₁Sb₂Te₄, and Ge₁Sb₄Te₇, were studied for data storage application. As-deposited Ge₂Sb₂Te₅, Ge₁Sb₂Te₄, and Ge₁Sb₄Te₇ thin films were amorphous and they crystallized to FCC and HCP upon heat treatment. Crystallization was accelerated by increasing the proportion of Sb₂Te₃ rather than GeTe in Ge–Sb–Te compounds; this was observed by reflectivity changes under nanosecond laser irradiation in static tester. The different crystallization kinetics according to composition might be affected by the structural incompatibility of GeTe under the ‘Umbrella Flip’ theory.     

Source breakup dynamics in Au + Au collisions at sqrt[s(NN)]=200 GeV via three-dimensional two-pion source imaging

A three-dimensional correlation function obtained from midrapidity, low p(T), pion pairs in central Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s(NN)]=200 GeV is studied. The extracted model-independent source function indicates a long range tail in the directions of the pion pair transverse momentum (out) and the beam (long). A proper breakup time tau(0) ~ 9 fm/c and a mean proper emission duration Delta tau ~ 2 fm/c, leading to sizable emission time differences ({|Delta t(LCM)|} approximately 12 fm/c), are required to allow models to be successfully matched to these tails. The model comparisons also suggest an outside-in "burning" of the emission source reminiscent of many hydrodynamical models.     

Antiferromagnetic d-electron exchange via a spin-singlet pi-electron ground state in an organic conductor

Electron spin resonance reveals the spin behavior of conduction (pi) and localized (d) electrons in beta-(BDA-TTP)2MCl4 (M=Fe, Ga). Both the Ga3+(S=0) and Fe3+(S=5/2) compounds exhibit a metal-insulator transition at 113 K with the simultaneous formation of a spin-singlet ground state in the pi electron system of the donor molecules. The behavior is consistent with charge ordering in beta-(BDA-TTP)2MCl4 at the metal-insulator transition. At 5 K, the Fe3+ compound orders antiferromagnetically, even though the pi electrons, which normally would facilitate magnetic exchange, are localized nonmagnetic singlets.
